Will Crouch: It's time for the Crows to take what they deserve

The Adelaide Crows are finally back in the AFL Grand Final, fighting for a premiership. And it’s one they deserve.

It's simple. They've been the best side all year. And as a long suffering fan... it's a welcome change.

I spoke to the club chairman Rob Chapman earlier this week, and he said to me something that resonated.

“I am confident, and I do trust these guys. I go to Melbourne and I expect to win these days, as opposed to a few years ago where I hoped to win, I expect to win.”

It brought back some painful memories.

Crouch has always been a Crows fan.

I was just 14, sitting in the highest grandstand, in the furthest row, in a corner seat at Footy Park. It was the 2006 prelim final, and I was an eyewitness as West Coast robbed the Crows of a golden opportunity.

It never looked like missing. The Hawks snatched the lead, and the siren sounded moments later.

I’d desperately hoped to win, but wasn’t surprised.

As far as football careers go, Jack Anthony's was far from spectacular. But in 2009 he etched his name in immortality.

The Crows held a one point lead against Collingwood with seconds to play. Another chance at a prelim final seemed all but certain.

Will Crouch speaks with Eddie Betts ahead of the match.

But as the ball sailed high into Collingwood’s forward line, Anthony was awarded a controversial free kick. It seemed unfathomable Ben Rutten could have held the man!

Just 15 seconds were on the clock. Anthony lined up, and the ball sailed straight through the middle.

Another heartbreaking loss. I’d been sure the Crows would win, but should have known better.

One particularly frustrated fan soon went viral for his reaction to the loss.

“Absolutely the Crows were robbed! Right in front of me! Right in front of me!”

Remember that guy?!

The Crows had their chance in redemption in the 2012 prelim.

After battling from behind all night, Adelaide remarkably fought back to take a late lead against the Hawks. Was it time to believe again?!

The same old script followed. Dubious umpiring, a late fadeout, and the Hawks surged back to book another berth in the Grand Final.

I’d hoped the Crows could finally crack the curse, but I should have learned by now.

For a while, the Crows were even at risk of becoming chokers. But since they share a stadium with Port Adelaide, so it was never a real possibility.

But the pattern of mediocrity was becoming more painful each season. It always started the same way.

A promising list with plenty of potential! Some exciting young talent! A boom recruit! (Remember when Wayne Carey came to Adelaide? Or how fans were genuinely excited about Richard Tambling once!?) And a renewed hope that THIS would be the Crows year.

But as careers stagnated, recruits failed to live up to the hype, and September became an afterthought, one shining light was the club's recruiting.

But even that was bittersweet, as many young guns soon sought greener pastures than those of Adelaide Oval.

Club Champion Nathan Bock became the poster child of the Gold Coast Suns.

South Australian Phil Davis now captains GWS.

Jack Gunston won the club's rising star award... and then proceeded to become an integral part of three straight premierships at Hawthorn.

Kurt Tippett. Don’t even ask.

And Patrick Dangerfield. REALLY, DON’T ASK.

But even when a star decided he wanted to come home, no deal could get done. G'day Bryce if you're reading.

The Crows might be the Pride of South Australia, but still remain a backwater through the eyes of many. Even this year, Kevin Bartlett considered it outrageous for the Crows force Richmond into a clash jumper.

But even throughout the near misses and the player departures, nothing compared to one morning in July, 2015.

Some news moments stick with you for your entire life. Nearly everyone remembers when they heard the tragic news on September 11, 2001. A different generation will never forget the death of Princess Diana.

I'll never forget hearing the news Phil Walsh had been murdered.

It seemed unfathomable the coach of the Adelaide Football Club could be gone.

What followed was the most inspiring moment in the club’s history.

Just one week since the tragedy, players bravely took the field to play against West Coast, honouring their coach the only way he would have wanted.

The result didn’t matter. After the final siren sounded, the Eagles and Crows united in the centre square for a minute of silence. As the Crows began walking off the ground, tears flowed for their fallen coach. The raw emotion transcended sport. It remains the most moving moment in football.

The club will be forever indebted to Scott Camporeale for taking the reins during the club’s most trying time. Campo united the players during their darkest hour, and inspired them to an unforgettable finals win in honour of Walshy.

Overcoming adversity has become a hallmark of the Adelaide Football Club.

And now on the biggest stage, the stars have finally aligned in 2017.

The undefeated start. The Showdown ledger. The Hawks hoodoo, broken. The Cats curse, also broken. The debutants. The Collingwood comeback. The minor premiership. The best captain. The most courageous player. The power stance. The trip to the Gold Coast. The prelim final. The last weekend in September.

And now the premiership. The time for the Crows to take what they deserve.
